Bug Description
Impossible Login ubuntu 20.04 :
if dual screen is active with an HDMI cable and set to extended desktop mode (that means that I have two screens displaying a part of the same big dekstop,and not duplicated)
mouse is locked only in one monitor, the wrong one.
This means that at login time, I get my Avatar with the password area in the second screen, and I get the purple ubuntu wallpaper and the mouse pointer on my Laptop screen instead.
Then when I try to move the mouse from the Laptop screen to the second external screen mouse is stucked at the border and doesnt jump to the other screen so I can't click on the second screen and login.
The only way to login is to disconnect the second monitor so the login aerea comes back in my laptop screen, then login in and then connect the monitor again.
Also keep in mind that I set my laptop screen as the main one, and the external as secondary so at login time it's wrong that i get the main login aerea in the secondary screen instead. That is a bug too, but the main is concern is that I can't even move the mouse there to login.
